Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the contract with SRF, Inc. for professional engineering services for the Arrowhead/Kenwood and West Cleveland Street signal improvements be amended to increase the amount by $37,066 for a new total of $155,283, payable from Permanent Improvement Fund 411, Department/Agency 035 (Capital Projects Accounts), Object 5530 (Improvements Other than Buildings), city project no. 1468.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution will authorize an amendment to the contract with SRF, Inc. for Arrowhead/Kenwood and West Cleveland Street signal improvements. At the time of contract award the city did not include design costs for improvements of the new shared access that will serve both Wells Fargo Bank and US Bank, nor were the costs to improve West Cleveland Street to the east included. This was because city staff was not confident that the adjacent property owners would agree with the proposed changes. Following a meeting with the owners on February 9, it appears that necessary agreements and easements can be obtained. A public meeting for this project is scheduled for March 15, 2016. This project is to be constructed in summer 2016 and the closures of existing accesses will improve the safety and efficiency of the intersections.
